Cutting with the Chain SAW

OPERATING CHAIN SAW

1.Connect saw to extension cord. Connect exten- sion cord to power supply.

2.Make sure section of log to be cut is not laying on ground. This will keep chain from touching ground as it cuts through log. Touching ground with moving chain will dull chain.

3.Use both hands to grip saw. Always use left hand to grip front handle and right hand to grip rear handle. Use ﬁrm grip. Thumbs and ﬁngers must wrap around saw handles (see Figure 10).

4.Make sure your footing is ﬁrm. Keep feet apart. Divide your weight evenly on both feet.

5.When ready to make a cut, push the lockout button completely forward with the right thumb and squeeze the trigger (see Figure 10). This will turn saw on. Releasing trigger will turn saw off. Make sure saw is running at full speed before starting a cut.

6.When starting a cut, place moving chain against wood. Hold saw ﬁrmly in place to avoid possible bouncing or skating (sideways movement) of saw.

7.Guide saw using light pressure. Do not force saw. The motor will overload and can burn out. It will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was intended.

8.Remove saw from a cut with saw running at full speed. Stop saw by releasing trigger. Make sure chain has stopped before setting saw down.

9.Practice until you can maintain a steady, even cutting rate.
